> 2) Video metadata was not refreshed if the files had an XMP sidecar.

> 3) Video is still displayed using the wrong aspect ratio even if
> digiKam now reports the correct aspect ratio of "16:9", width=1024 and
> height=756.

>> Ah, you don't use yet Exiv2 0.24 ? this is why ratio look weird...
>> only 0.24 support video files.

>> Warning : as digikam register item width and height in database to

>> There is a Maintenance tool for that. Else, ratio will not change in
>> digiKam after a simple Exiv2 update...
